Procedure that utilizes heat to reduce the smooth muscle that constricts during asthma attacks.
BRONCHOSCOPY
Visualization of the airways in the lungs using a thin tube with a light and camera.
ELECTROMAGNETIC NAVIGATIONAL BRONCHOSCOPY (ENB)
Utilizes electromagnetic navigation to produce real-time imaging of hard-to-reach areas of the lungs.
ENDOBRONCHIAL ULTRASOUND
Used to visualize the lungs and airways to diagnosis and stage lung conditions.
INDIRECT CALORIMETRY
Measures spent energy during respiration by monitoring oxygen consumption and carbon dioxide production.
METHACHOLINE CHALLENGE TEST
Evaluates reactivity and responsiveness of the lungs.
OXIMETRY
Measures the oxygen saturation in the blood.
PULMONARY REHABILITATION
Accredited programs for people with COPD and other chronic lung diseases.
PULMONARY STRESS TEST
Diagnostic test to determine how the heart and lungs respond when energy is exerted.
RADIOLOGY SERVICES
RESPIRATORY THERAPY
Designed to help patients with breathing, lung or heart disorders, respiratory therapists at Powers Health assist in improving lung function, airway management and aerosol medication delivery.
ROBOTIC BRONCHOSCOPY
SPIN® THORACIC NAVIGATION SYSTEM (SPIN DRIVE)
Technology that relies on 3D imaging to precisely target suspicious areas in the lungs.
THORACENTESIS
Procedure that uses a catheter or needle to remove fluid from the cavity around the lungs.
